Title: what is under the o/s lights that looks like a mini rad?
Post by: Oedipus Rex on April 23, 2005, 04:51:27 PM
I\'m getting a little steam coming from under the passenger headlight when I\'ve been for a proper run out. If I looke through the hole in the nose under the passenger side lights I see what looks like a mini rad. However when I look at the cooling system diagrams it doesn\'t show any kind of rad there. So what is it?

however thinking about it I\'m getting it when it\'s dry too. Is there a pipe that runs over the top of the oil cooler that could be dripping on to it?


aah **** it I don\'t know why I\'m asking all this, I should just get my hands dirty and get to it, then I\'ll know for myself.

Its a bit of a crude test but if there\'s enough vapor to wet your finger taste it. If its sweet its antifreeze and you\'ve got a problem, if not don\'t worry. As i said a bit crude but it can save a lot of time stripping down for no reason.
